Ep. 1: El tiempo es el que es

En España, hoy es miércoles el 19 de diciembre de 2018.

El ministerio del tiempo: Capítulo 1:

In this first episode, El tiempo es el que es, we are introduced to the concept of the series and the main characters. There are references throughout the series to events in Spanish and world history which we have studied over the years. Diego Velázquez plays an important role, and we learn additional secrets of the painting Las meninas. Further, we get a sense for the depth to which the character El capitán Alatriste has penetrated Spanish culture!

As you watch the episode, I recommend that you turn on the subtitles once the video starts to play by clicking the button Subt. in the lower part of the video screen. You will be able to read the dialog as you watch.
